Driving Tour of Mombasa, Kenya: Ferry Ride and Exploring the Streets

Hello, fellow adventurers! Buckle up because today we’re taking a wild, hilarious ride through the vibrant streets of Mombasa, Kenya! And hey, don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel, “Real People OF The Internet,” where we dive into more chaotic, laughter-filled journeys like this one. Let’s get rolling!

The Ferry Ride: Where the Adventure Begins

First stop, the iconic Likoni Ferry. If you thought your morning commute was a circus, wait until you experience this floating festival! Picture this: a massive ferry packed with cars, trucks, motorbikes, pedestrians, and the occasional chicken. It’s like Noah’s Ark meets Mad Max.

As you drive onto the ferry, hold your breath and your steering wheel tight. The jostling for space makes a game of Tetris look like child’s play. But hey, once you’re on, take a deep breath and enjoy the sea breeze. And if you’re lucky, you might even spot a dolphin or two playing in the waves. Or maybe that’s just someone’s pet goat that jumped overboard—who can say?

Streets of Mombasa: The Real Safari

Once we disembark, the real safari begins. Driving through Mombasa is like participating in the greatest reality show never aired. The streets are alive with the buzz of tuk-tuks, matatus (minibuses), and jaywalkers with a death wish.

First, let’s tackle Moi Avenue, home to the famous Mombasa Tusks. These giant aluminum tusks arch over the road, a tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s visit in 1952. Snap a selfie here, but keep one eye on the road and the other on your camera. Dodging traffic and getting the perfect angle? Challenge accepted!

Next, we head to Old Town. This area is a maze of narrow streets, lined with ancient buildings showcasing intricate Swahili architecture. Driving here is like a real-life game of Pac-Man, but with fewer ghosts and more bewildered tourists. Park your car and wander around. Taste some authentic Swahili cuisine, buy a souvenir, or just get lost in the labyrinth of history. Just don’t forget where you parked, or you might end up on a tuk-tuk back to the ferry!

Pit Stops: Fuel for the Soul

Feeling peckish? Mombasa’s street food scene is a culinary carnival. Pull over for a bite of mishkaki (skewered meat) or some viazi karai (battered potatoes). If you’re brave enough, try the local specialty, cassava chips with tamarind sauce. It’s tangy, spicy, and deliciously unforgettable—much like this trip!

The Grand Finale: Beach Time!

End your day with a drive to Nyali Beach. After the adrenaline rush of city driving, this is your chill-out zone. Park your car and stroll along the white sandy beach, dip your toes in the Indian Ocean, or just lie back and let the sound of the waves wash over you. You’ve earned it!
